Laser shock experiments conducted at an energy density of 61 MJ/m revealed void initiation and growth at stress application times of approximately 10 ns. It is shown that void growth cannot be accomplished by vacancy diffusion under these conditions, even taking into account shock heating. An alternative, dislocation-emission-based mechanism, is proposed for void growth. The shear stresses are ...

In this paper, we study the evolution of a relativistic, superhorizon-sized void embedded in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. We numerically solve the spherically symmetric general relativistic equations in comoving, synchronous coordinates. Initially, the fluid inside the void is taken to be homogeneous and nonexpanding. In a radiation-dominated universe, we find that radiation diffuses ...

Abstract The roundtable gathers specialists dedicated to thinking through the Afro-Gothic as a conceptual approach black aesthetics and theoretical framework. In spirit of camaraderie intellectual curiosity, contributors consider meanings from various disciplines diasporic perspectives. participants discuss ways in which horror, haunting, uncanny, monstrous, fantastic are manifest and, doing so...

The Void Phenomenon consists in the apparent discrepancy between the number of observed dwarf halos in cosmic voids and that expected from CDM simulations. We approach the problem considering the challenging prospects of detecting field dwarf systems with halo masses ≤ 10 M⊙, via their possible HI emission. A brief review of recent work is followed by preliminary results from the ALFALFA survey...
